Accepting new patients.
Schedule a CallMedical weight loss at Healing Advanced Solutions in Jacksonville, FL is a provider-supervised program led by Catherine Seidle, APRN, built around lab work and your metabolic picture.
GLP-1 medications work. They work better, and more safely, with a provider who runs your labs, adjusts your dose, teaches you how to eat, and answers when something feels off.
You’ve lost the same twenty pounds three times.
You’ve seen the ads promising a shot that fixes everything, and you know it’s not that simple. You want the medication and the medicine: labs, follow-up, a plan for after. Most patients who sit down with us have already done everything right at least once.
This program was built for exactly that.
No mystery pricing, no open-ended subscription. Here is the whole arc, including how it ends.
Ten to fifteen minutes by phone or video. Tell us what is going on, ask about anything you have read, and get a straight answer on whether the program fits.
A full hour with Catherine Seidle, APRN. Your history and your baseline labs, reviewed together, and the medication decision made with you, not for you.
Dosing starts low on purpose. Your first injection happens in office, with clear guidance on what the first week typically feels like.
Injection, weight tracking, and troubleshooting. Your dose moves when your response says it should, not on a fixed escalation schedule.
A plan for keeping the result: nutrition that holds, and whether to taper or continue, decided together before you need the answer.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide copy GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1, a fullness and blood-sugar hormone your gut releases after you eat), a signal your body already uses. Turning that signal up does three things at once.
Fullness registers sooner and lasts longer, so the constant background food noise gets quiet.
Food leaves the stomach more gradually. Smaller meals satisfy, and stay satisfying.
Insulin release is matched to what you actually eat, so blood sugar runs steadier through the day.
Tirzepatide adds a second pathway, GIP, which is part of why some patients respond better to it. Which medication, at what dose, is a medical decision made from your labs, your history, and your week-to-week response. Sometimes the answer is neither. If your labs point somewhere else entirely, a functional medicine evaluation may be the better starting point.
Medication here is prescribed from data, not a questionnaire. Baseline labs are required, three ways:
The Weight Loss Panel: CBC with differential, CMP, TSH and TPO, lipid panel, A1c.
The Full Panel, hormones included.
Or bring recent labs from your primary care provider. If they cover what we need, you skip the draw and the cost.
Already sure this is what you want? Ask for the $180 intake directly and skip the consultation call.
One footnote: weight and hormones travel together. If your story includes perimenopause, sleep loss, or cycle changes, read hormone optimization too. The two programs can work together.
That last row is real, and it is the point. The difference buys the medicine part: labs, dose judgment, someone to call the same week, and an exit plan. HSA and FSA eligible, Affirm available.
GLP-1 medication reduces your appetite and slows digestion. What you eat inside that window decides what your body has to work with, which is why this program runs on a defined dietary framework and not on medication alone. The pattern is whole foods, carbohydrates kept low enough that your body reaches for stored fat, and protein set high enough to protect what matters most while the weight comes off.
Protecting muscle is the quiet job of that protein. Appetite suppression can make it easy to lose lean mass along with fat, and this program is built around preventing exactly that. Lean mass carries your metabolic rate, your strength, and how lasting the result is after the medication ends, so protein-forward eating and simple strength work are built into the plan.
Your targets are personal, set from your labs, your activity, and how you respond, then reviewed at your weekly visits. The framework is built to outlast the program: the way you eat during weight loss becomes the foundation you keep in maintenance.
Every dose decision in this program is made by Catherine Seidle, APRN.
She spent six years as a registered nurse in the Medical ICU at the Roudebush VA before practicing as a nurse practitioner for more than ten years. This program treats weight the way the rest of her practice works: find the drivers, measure, adjust.

Two lists, so you can decide before you book.
Semaglutide has been studied extensively and is widely prescribed, and like any medication it has side effects and situations where it is not appropriate. That is exactly why our program starts with labs and a provider evaluation instead of a checkout page. Catherine reviews your history and monitors you throughout treatment.
Compounded semaglutide contains the same active ingredient as brand-name versions and is prepared by licensed pharmacies. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved products, which makes the quality of the pharmacy and the oversight of your provider the real safeguards. We are transparent about sourcing and will answer any question about it directly.
They work differently and suit different situations. Tirzepatide acts on two hormone pathways rather than one and some patients respond better to it, while semaglutide has a longer track record. The answer depends on your labs, your history, and your goals, which is what the consultation is for.
Most side effects are digestive, show up early, and settle as your dose is adjusted properly. Fatigue usually improves with dosing and nutrition changes, and hair shedding, when it happens, is typically tied to rapid weight loss rather than the medication itself. This is what provider follow-up is for; you will never be left to manage it alone.
Plateaus are expected, not a sign the medication failed. Your body adapts, and the scale pausing is usually the signal to adjust the plan rather than the dose. Nutrition, protein, activity, sleep, and stress all get reviewed at your regular visits. Most patients restart progress with plan changes, and dose changes happen only when the whole picture says so.
Qualification depends on your health history, your labs, and your goals rather than a number on a chart. The free consultation is the quickest way to find out. If this program is not the right fit, we will tell you and point you toward what is.
Yes. The program is built around lab work, it is how we dose safely and track what is actually changing. If you have recent labs from your primary care provider, bring them. At the consultation we will help you decide whether they are current and complete enough, or whether anything needs to be added in house.
The starting price reflects the starting dose. If a higher dose becomes clinically appropriate later, the medication cost rises with it. We confirm your exact monthly price before you start, and again before any dose change.
We are a cash-pay practice with transparent pricing and no insurance billing. Visits and labs are HSA and FSA eligible, and financing is available through Affirm. We will walk you through exact program pricing at your consultation, before you commit to anything.
